ABOUT FRIDAY
Why did you start Friday Pickleball?
Friday Pickleball was born out of a desire to level the playing field. At Friday, we create paddles you can trust with a look and feel that actually make a difference. The paddle you choose should make you feel confident and comfortable so you can show up as the best version of yourself, every day. That’s why we offer premium paddles at accessible prices so you can look great and feel confident on the court.

SHIPPING
Where does Friday ship to?
Friday Pickle ships within the continental US, as well as to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
We are now also shipping to Canada!
What are your processing/shipment timelines?
Once your order is placed, your items will be reserved in our system! Your order will go through two phases prior to delivery: order processing and fulfillment. We generally allow 24 hours for order changes such as shipping address changes, paddle design changes, etc. In some cases we will be out of stock on certain designs. We have inventory arriving weekly but your order may be delayed a few days while it waits on a specific design.
Standard shipping takes around 3-5 business days.
Shipping to Hawaii and Canada can take up to 1-2 weeks.
How much does shipping cost?
Our standard shipping cost is $8.95. We do offer free shipping on orders of 3 or more paddles.
How can I track my order status?
Once your order ships, you will be emailed a tracking number so you can follow the progress of your shipment! If it hasn't shipped yet, you are always welcome to reach out at hello@fridaypickle.com and we can look into it for you.
My tracking link says my package was delivered but I can't locate it. What do I do?
This can happen sometimes! Don't worry, we're here to help.
Do a quick search around your property. Sometimes the carrier will attempt to hide the package to avoid theft. Generally the paddles are delivered in/at the mailbox or at the front porch.
Check with your neighbors to see if they received your package.
Check in with any front offices or mail rooms associated with your residence. Sometimes the package can be delivered in the wrong parcel locker but should be easily remedied by contacting the carrier or working with the mail room attendant.
Wait 2 days. At times, carriers may mark packages delivered before they're actually dropped off.
Contact the carrier (generally USPS, UPS, or FedEx) and give them your tracking number. They can help you track it down.

CANCELS & RETURNS
Can I cancel or change my order?
Our team works to fulfill orders as quickly as possible, so if you notice that your order needs to be changed, please contact our team at hello@fridaypickle.com right away!
We allow a 24-hour lag between the time of order placement to when the order is sent to our fulfillment center. After that, the order will be processed for shipment and will be unable to be changed.
How do returns work?
If you would like to return one or multiple paddles, please contact support at hello@fridaypickle.com. We will provide you with an address for your return. You will be responsible for covering return shipping to us, generally $10 or less. Once the return is received, we will refund the full value of the paddle plus the original charge of shipping.
Can I exchange my paddle for a different design?
You can exchange for a different design provided the paddle is unused and the plastic is still covering the grip. Contact support at hello@fridaypickle.com and let us know which design you want. We will give you an address to ship your return and you will be responsible for covering return shipping.
How does your 99-day happiness guarantee work?
We offer a 99-day Happiness Guarantee which means you can return the paddle new or used for a refund within that window. Normal wear and tear is to be expected on any sporting equipment but we are happy to replace/refund in instances where the performance of the paddle is affected or if you are unhappy with the paddle. We are unable to refund more than the original full cost of the order so you would have to pay for return shipping. Please contact support at hello@fridaypickle.com to initiate a return.
